Beri Keutamaan Kepada Pemain Tempatan Dalam Skuad Kebangsaan - Tengku Abdullah

KUALA LUMPUR, 22 Mac (Bernama) -- Presiden Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM), Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah mahu jurulatih skuad kebangsaan, Dollah Salleh berhati-hati dalam membuat pemilihan pemain naturalisasi.

Bagaimanapun, baginda bertitah lebih keutamaan perlu diberikan kepada pemain tempatan yang sedia ada untuk menyertai skuad kebangsaan dan tidak mengambil pemain naturalisasi semata-mata untuk memenuhi kuota sahaja.

"Prestasi mereka perlu lebih bagus daripada pemain tempatan sedia ada. Saya bukan jurulatih tetapi jika Dollah berkata demikian (mengenai pemain naturalisasi) ia adalah rasional, tetapi saya rasa kita kena beri peluang kepada pemain tempatan terlebih dulu," titah baginda kepada pemberita hari ini.

Sebelum ini, Dollah dilaporkan bersikap terbuka untuk menggunakan khidmat pemain naturalisasi untuk memperkuatkan pasukan kebangsaan walaupun pendekatan itu mungkin mengundang rasa kurang senang segelintir pihak.

Dollah berkata beliau tidak menghalang sebarang cadangan untuk mengambil pemain luar negara menyarung jersi kebangsaan asalkan dilakukan mengikut undang-undang.

Sementara itu, Tengku Abdullah berharap Dollah dapat memperbaiki kelemahan skuad kebangsaan yang akan menentang Oman pada perlawanan persahabatan kelas A di Stadium Seeb Sports, Oman, pada 26 Mac ini.

"Saya dah beritahu Dollah supaya dia mesti lakukan sedikit perubahan dalam pasukan. Sekiranya beliau dapat memperbaiki prestasi dan kelemahan yang ditunjukkan oleh pasukan pada Piala AFF Suzuki yang lepas, itu bagus," titah baginda.

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...
